Austria VAT Calculator (MwSt)
Add Austrian MwSt to a net price or strip it from a gross total. Standard rate is 20%, reduced to 13% for cultural events, museums, and wine, and 10% for food, medicine, books, newspapers, and residential rent. Austria uses EUR and is a full EU VAT member.
Standard 20% for most services. 13% for culture and live events. 10% for food, medicine, books, rent.
Formula
Add MwSt: Gross = Net × (1 + Rate ÷ 100)\nRemove MwSt: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100)
At 20%: Net × 1.20 = Gross; Gross ÷ 1.20 = Net. At 10%: Net × 1.10 = Gross; Gross ÷ 1.10 = Net.
Worked Example
B2B invoice — 20%:
€4,200 net × 1.20 = €5,040 gross (MwSt: €840)
Book purchase — 10%:
€28.60 gross ÷ 1.10 = €26.00 net (MwSt: €2.60)
Common Mistakes
- Confusing Austria and Germany rates. Germany uses 19% standard and 7% reduced. Austria uses 20% standard with 10% and 13% reduced tiers.
- Subtracting 20% to remove MwSt. €120 − 20% = €96. Correct: €120 ÷ 1.20 = €100.
- Applying the wrong reduced rate. The 13% rate is for cultural events, live music, wine at wineries. The 10% rate covers food, medicine, books, and residential rent.
